His time had come & gone when he came here. However when he did come here most thought we would be in a super bowl in 3 years & most defended how he screwed the Falcons when he came here. You have to love karma in that situation. I remember all the "In Tuna We Trust" signatures.Just another sad situation in recent Dolphin history.

Re: Why did I win everywhere but here?

The man was clever. He had everyone in Miami begging him to walk in with his 1980s blueprint, and walked out making everyone think it was Ireland's fault we were still mediocre.

I was never a fan of him coming here in a management position.Great coach. Awful talent evaluator. And the game had passed him by.

I agree Swerve. He is too old school with his methods and ways & never really adjusted along with the times. Amazing when you think of some coaches like Dick LeBeau in his seventies and just as innovative as ever. Parcells although at a high lever than LeBeau, not so much.

Funny , I dont remember one negative post when he signed on to come here. I guess the fact that up until that point he had won everywhere he had been , turning franchises around turned some people off.

Perhaps that was the case FINesse, but boy were we fooled then as he certainly did not take his prior experience of turning franchises around with Miami. There was one flash in the pan year in 2008. Bottom line is he ended up unfortunately leaving a sour taste in most Dolphin fans eyes.

Yeah , I agree. I think when Huizenga sold to Ross for whatever reason Parcells kinda opted out if you will. I remember thinking that he just came down to Florida to retire & play golf like most other old farts ... LOL

Re: Why did I win everywhere but here?

I really thought Parcells was going to win. I think his biggest downfall was his quarterback and head coach selections. And I would have to say that even though Parcells was buying the groceries the first few years, Ireland was probably learning on the job.

Parcells built an average team ... not the championship team we all expected. He also built a good defense and special teams group. All was not wasted.

I personally do not recall being that pumped up over the hiring of Pacells, nor being discouraged about it either. The one thing I did know at the time was Parcells could never build a winner coaching without Belichick. His record without him was very middle of the road.
